Just to let you know I do not have my own website, only my E-mail address. I have been suffering with bulging discs in my lower back and neck pain. My MRI came up good for my neck. Dr. thinks it is a muscle and nerve problem. I get migraines when I get a neck rub or put in traction. Dr. Prescribed me the Lidoderm lidocaine patch 5%. I put it on at 8pm on Sunday night. I cut the patch into a third and put it on my right shoulder close to my neck. I noticed little flutters in my chest that night, but thought it was a stomach related problem. I took the patch off at 8am the next morning (Monday). I felt ill most of the day (Monday)and towards evening I felt as tho I could not catch my breath. I again ignored it, although it scared me a little. When I woke up today (Tuesday) I started breaking out with hives. Do you think this is related to the patch. I did not do anything or eat anything that I can think of that would cause these problems. Is the worst over? Thank You!!!
